Hey all just wanted to let you know that I had more medical problems over the last 3 months. I had to have my right foot amputated 1 week ago because of no blood flow to my right foot. I am in rehab now at Flower Hospital trying to heal and build strength in my left leg and learn to to do things with no feet until I get a prosthesis for my left leg. I will keep you posted on my recovery. Hope everyone is doing good.

Frank Bialecki - you certainly have had your share of health issues & I hope you on now on the mend.  Please take care.  Thoughts & prayers are with you

Francis Bialecki

I want to thank Pam Galbraith Hudson and Kathy Storm for visiting me today at Flower Hosp Rehab. Was nice to see their smiling faces. Thanks to everyone who sent me messages with their thoughts and prayers means a lot to me. Also thanks to Joe Hajduk for giving me a call to see how I was doing. So far rehab is going well, I will be going home an the 28th of Sept. and will continue rehab at home until I heal and receive a prosthesis for my right leg. Hope everone is doing well and I will try to make it to a Fandango when I get better. Take care everyone!

Frank, So sorry you are going through all these health issues.  Keeping you in my prayers for a speedy recovery!  

Richard Burr

So sorry to hear about your medical issue, Frankie. Praying for you and wishing you a successful rehabilitation.

It appears that Tallahassee will get a direct hit from Cat 3 Hurricane Helene. We have not had a direct hit since 1985 Kate. We expect catastrophic wind and rain. (The only good news is that we are not the coast where surges up to 18 feet are expected. That’s enough to cover the barrier islands with several feet of water and destroy the houses in its path.)

Winds will be 111 to 130 MPH, enough to damage or fell trees as well as blow just about anything down. She is quite large so it will rain about 200 miles from the eye.

We are as ready as we can be. Please send your prayers/positive thoughts this way as we will need all that we can get.

All is well. Didn't lose power. Helene did what forecaster call a wobble and went slightly east to Taylor County. Poor folks--that's the third one in a year for them. So we did dodge a huge bullet. Some damage around town but not as much as expected. Now we wait for the next one!

Marcia Kelso (Wilkinson)

Lots of prayers for those who suffered through Helene and then were hit again by Milton.  I'm glad that more people got out to a safer place, and can get back to their homes and at least salvage some of their precious possessions.  If not I ask that the Lord be with everyone that they will get the help they need, rebuild, and get their lives back in order.  Peace!

Nancy Wolff (Szymanski)

To all of our classmates living in Florida or wintering in Florida as well as those with families in Florida, I pray that everyone is safe.  Things can be replaced but lives cannot.  Hey classmates - let us know you're ok please!  Thoughts & prayers are with you!

Richard Burr

Here in Melbourne, Florida, we made it thru hurricane Milton!  Minimal damage to house and yard, usual tree limbs and such.  No roof damage or fence damage.  Lots of water from rain, about 14" over 2 days, 8" just last night.  Sustained winds of 70+, gusts to 85 during the night as Milton moved over Florida from west to northeast, so very unusual for hurricanes!! Tampa, Orlando and Daytona Beach need lots of help, not to mention many, many other smaller towns. 

Marcia Kelso (Wilkinson)

We must also keep in our prayers those who were hit by Helene in the states of Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee.  I think they got the brunt of that hurricane a couple of weeks ago.  I pray that everyone is safe and hopefully getting back to their homes and getting their lives in order with communication devices, electricity, clean water and whatever they need.  They're going to need a lot of help, and thank God for all the first responders and volunteers that are there to help.

Kim Wening (Maros)

Our prayers are with all people in the hurricane areas.  Samartans purse is a wonderful charity. Kim

I just received a message form Gary Ickes daughter that he passed away in 2016. Gary was living in the Phillipines at the time of his passing. I'm sure he is missed by his family and friends.

Nancy Wolff (Szymanski)

Sad to hear of another reunion of SHS '68 in heaven.  Rest in peace, Gary.  Thanks for the update, Frank.

Francis Bialecki

If anyone knew Gary Ickes his daughter is looking for information about him like his school yrs and maybe before 1981 when he joined the Navy. He was in the Navy from 1981 untill 1997 where he took a medical retirement.

If you knew him you can contact her at: am.ickes@gmail.com with any info or memories you might have of Gary

Thanks.

Marcia Kelso (Wilkinson)

Frank - thank you for what you do and are doing for the people in our class who have passed on - keeping up the memory page and talking with families.  That is a truly wonderful thing
